Key Elements

If it's not: God (No-self, nothingness, no external environment, no embodiment) --> Everythingness (You literally become everything.) --> Godhead (Singularity, Riding the Ox Backwards) --> To love realm --> embodiment in mind, body, world, universe... then, what is it? It will just be more, and more, and more, and more of everything, of absolute infinity within God. In everythingness (infinity), any part of it, the stories do not end. In other words, how long do you want the stories? It's time to find an effective way to point to God after becoming it. That's the journey. Before that, it's pursuing a profound life purpose. Not so easy to do these things, is it?

What does the apple represent? What are you supposed to do with it once you've experienced it?

I think he wrote this song when he was going through a rebound. Watch out for that.

@Preety_India yes, I agree. There are some truths to that. What I don't understand is guys (and gals) want to start a relationship almost immediately without knowing each other or their situations very well. It starts off very well at first, and then it goes downhill. If the couple don't adjust, then it's a breakup. Gals also fall for the "beta," and it doesn't work. I've seen it happen. It was immediately too.

@Conscious life i think whether or not you're doing survival, whether or not you're thinking about it now, you still have to do it no matter what. You're still here in this world. A person doing survival doesn't make him/her less conscious. How can you say that we don't do survival when instinctively we all do? Some just mastered it. If you eat food, if you breathe air, that's survival.

Before a person join any groups or make any decisions on what to say or do, think about this: is your objective to uplift the other person/group on whatever issues the other is having, or is it to silence and bring down the other person/group to prove that you're more right? Wouldn't it be better if your questions are: how can I help this person achieve his/her goal? What can I bring to this that only I could bring? Am I misinterpreting / misunderstanding the other person? Am I being a good listener? Did the other person misinterpret what I'm saying? If yes, that's not an excuse to debate, debunk, or attack the other person.

@Shin that's good that you're in good health now. I was too until something unexpected happened. Sometimes we get so caught up in life that we forget to notice other areas. I'm only saying this. Now, since I'm almost fully recovered, I could continue with my goals.

Hmmm... There's nothing wrong with social media. It's a great way to stay connected. It's a great way to meet new ppl. I just met a group of ppl from meetup today for networking. Dating on social media is more tricky. Of course it's not wrong; it's just more tricky. You still have to meet that person in real life. And, when you date, most likely you're putting your best foot forward. You wouldn't really get to see the other person's true colors unless you get more intimate. You can't just read off a list of things on someone's profile, and that's what you get. It's not a job. It's not a resume (CV). In a job, you could fire someone if he/she does a poor job. If you breakup with a person, for whatever reason, that's different.

What about... -The person doesn't allow other ppl to share different ways of finding solutions. He/she just completely shuts off others. It gets worse when this becomes chronic. This person could adopt a "one size fits all" type of mentality. "There is only one way of doing things (or a handful of options)." -The person doesn't want to hear other ppl out, especially the ones who are totally different. This person has reached a desired "norm." This is not just in relationships/dating. This is in all the other categories. It's very difficult to open up to someone who has accepted certain norms and blocked off everyone else.

@Arcangelo what about the other areas of your life? Are you working on them? Sometimes that's where you meet your match--along the way, when you work on yourself. Because I do notice that the couples who end up staying together started off meeting each other when they were not even looking. They were not even saying to themselves, "I want a gf/bf," not even thinking of it. They just get along, and it felt right. Just saying, ok? Not sure if you thought of it this way. You know, when you ask couples how they've met and how long have they been together. Of course, they will not say everything. Ppl only open up if you're a great listener, open-minded, and non-criticizing.

Maybe. It's hard to tell. I could only go by what my friend said. She takes the side of her father and can't get along with her mother. But, see, my friend is only the daughter. We don't know how her father is treating her mother behind everyone's back. Or, the mother has very low tolerance and complains about everything. She may not have learned to adjust and compromise. When a family lives together, everyone has to adjust in some way and contribute in some way. Yup. Not sure what's going on. Like I said, in any long term relationship(s), you cannot have it 100% your way. There are always adjustments, and you cannot be close-minded too. Raising three children and living in a house in a good neighbood is overwhelming. Still, I see couples adjusting to that in some way or the other. I had neighbors who had a daughter (toddler). The father is the stay-at-home dad (homemaker, househusband), and the mother goes to work at a prestigious university. The father had no problems with that role. He loves his daughter. Why the "reversal of roles?" It's not really like that. The mother made more money from her career. That's why she kept her career.

@Nickyy you're right. The man could have done something out of love to make things balanced. I'm thinking he already did, but it didn't really work. Their eldest child also moved out without informing them. I wonder what's really going on. Yes, we don't really know what's going on.

Once you get into a relationship, it's a test of your nature, your inner balance. That's the best I could describe it. Are you both able to adjust in a balanced kind of way? Both have to be willing to adjust. There was a friend of mine I knew since high school. She told me her mom left her dad. I was wondering, "why?" They were married for 30+ years with three children. But then, I found out that the mom had a passive aggressive type of personality. Nothing pleases her in the family. She was always complaining no matter what anyone did, even though she had smart kids and a husband who is soft spoken and helped out around the house. He literally raised the kids all by himself and did all the housework, whatever he can. They were both university professors of the same university. He was the president, and she was the dean. To me, I think she allowed her ego to get the best of her. She never addressed her personality. She had everything going for her. She made all the major decisions. She made no attempts to stop herself from being passive aggressive. There's a saying, "don't make a moutain out of a molehill." In this case, the woman was out of balance. He chose to be with someone who eventually got out of balance.

You could sing this song, and I think you should too, but make sure you watch your health. Get yourself checked up by a doctor and request for a blood test. Be aware and mindful of your mind and body. You could sometimes lose your health just like that.

Turning points... These two really stick out for me. I have to do mine soon.

Hey, it's up to you. We all have nothing against your decisions. But then, how will you react if security guards come into the picture again? Or something happens...I dunno. I guess you wouldn't mind. There's always some turning point to the story. But, it's up to you. I'm just talking about the big picture.

@Leo Gura after a guy goes, "wham bam thank you ma'am," I think the gal is going to regret it. I think even the guy. There are always bigger fishes to fry in life. You said that answer many times. Maybe it's time to change? It's up to you. Btw, you know that it isn't really possible to actually 'be' with someone, right? Even if you're together for life.

Ok... interesting topic. Here's the thing I would say to myself if I was a guy interested in pickup: what did I learn from this? However, I would not fingerpoint other ppl, not the gal or the security guards. Only you could answer your own question. There's a saying from a life coach, "Life does not give you what you want. It gives you the ppl, places, and situations to develop what you want." Well, what I could say is, think deeply on this one. I could also tell you that you're not living in a village in some foreign country, and so you could change your situation.

Hi, just sharing... Join a nice group with a common goal. What are you trying to accomplish in this life? Let the goal be professional and profound. Study the group before you join. Plan ahead before you join. Think of just a handful of good questions to ask about the topic. Try to have a good discussion. Be a good listener. I wouldn't jump into a friendship right away. Real friends take time. Another key thing: be professional first. You don't expose everything of yourself all at once. Watch your step. There are ppl who will take advantage of you if you do this. If you're on a deeper level, then many ppl are only meant to be good acquaintances to casual friends. We are usually meant to be each others' stepping stones.

@Nickyy "friend zoning" is healthy. To me, it's not an excuse to not talk to a man and learn. I'm connected with married couples, and friends with the man, both in business and in friendship. It taught me a lot. The guy who made my website has incredible talents, and has a completely different background than me. I'm still connected to him as friends. We sometimes talk on WhatsApp on what to do. These men are very grounded.

Just saw this posted... Kinda cute ♥️???

I love instant Bru coffee the best--heated on the induction with water and milk. I don't go to Starbucks anymore because of this.

The most cockamamie route has the most detachment. Of course, it applies to relationships. Guess where else it applies?
